IMPROVEMENT IN BASE BURNING STOVES.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent-and making part of the same.

1, JOHN Q. C. Seem-in, of New Albany, county-of \Vilson, State of Kansas, have invented an Improvement in Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

Nature and Object of the Invention.

My invention consists of a magazine-stove or heater in which the fuel-reservoir is contracted at its lower end, and is surrounded by a water-chamber, the latter preserving the reservoir from .the action of the fire, and maintaining the coal in such a cool state that it cannot coke and choke the lower contracted end of the reservoir.

Description of the Accompanying Drawing.

Figure I is a sectional elevation of suflicientof a magazine-stove to illustrate my improvement; and

Figure 2 a plan view.

General Description.

which communicates with a flue or drum, and conducts from the chamber any steam which may be generated within the same.

In ordinary magazine-stoves having reservoirs with contracted lower ends, the reservoirs and their contents frequently become heated, the lower mouth of the reservoir burning away, and the coal coking and swelling so as tochoke up the mouth of the magazine and. prevent the further downward passage of the fuel.

'lo permit the coal to pass freely, should it coke, the reservoirs are frequently enlarged in diameter at their lower ends, thus rendering it necessary to increase the diameter of the cylinder to an inconvenient extent, and preventing the proper regulation of the feed.

These dilficulties are obviated by a water-chamber arranged in respect to a tapering reservoir as above described, the water maintaining the reservoir and its contents in such a cool state that the coal cannot coke, nor the mouth of the reservoir burn away.

Claims.

1. In a magazine-stove, a water-chamber, D, in

. stove, in combination with the chamber D, as set forth.

3'. The tube b,commui1icating with thechamber D and with a flue or drum, as specified.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the. presence of two subscribing witnesses.
